Apple has become the third largest music retailer in the US behind Wal-Mart and Best Buy, having bested Amazon's and Target's sales numbers last month. Apple posted more McDonalds-sized numbers today. The iTunes store now has sold over 3 billion songs since its Mac-only launch in April 2003.
The release also included updated numbers on the iTunes catalog as it currently stands (5 million+ songs, 550 TV shows, and 500 movies), and pointed to the fact that iTunes is "the world's most popular online music, TV, and movie store."
